  title: Replication interface CID verification
  statement: Benac shall support Couch/Pouch-compatible replication for eligible
    operational documents. Replicated structured documents that carry or
    reference structured document CIDs shall be verified by validating the
    logical payload, encoding it as DRISL, and recomputing the expected DASL CID.
    Blob replication may be handled through attachments, chunked documents,
    content-addressed blob transfer, package bundle export/import, a Benac CAS
    exchange profile, or another compatible mechanism, provided DASL CID
    identity, encryption, verification, availability, and missing-blob semantics
    are preserved. Replicated documents that carry authority shall not become
    active authority unless local policy accepts them.
  rationale: Replication moves operational documents and bytes, but it does not
    replace CID verification, signature verification, encryption policy,
    missing-blob handling, or local authority decisions.
  verification: Two-Station replication fixtures verify structured document CIDs
    after document replication, verify raw blob CIDs after blob transfer,
    preserve missing-blob semantics, and keep replicated authority inactive
    until local policy accepts it.
